SALISBURY, Md„ May 2.—The
arrest of two men from neighbor
ing communities revealed yester
day that last week’s special gam

County grand jury had ramifica
tions throughout Maryland’s lower
Eastern Shore.
The grand jury returned gaming
indictments against eight persons
after a five-day investigation of
charges made by the Salisbury
Times.
Two of those indicted taken into
custody yesterday were Stacy L.
Lewis, a coin machine dealer at
Cambridge, and Brantley Watkins,
operator of a tourist court south
of Pocomoke City.
Each Held on $500 Bond.
They were charged with ‘‘keep
ing. managing and having an in
terest in gaming devices, to wit a
slot machine,” in Wicomico Coun
ty. Each was released on $500
bond.
Four men were arrested and re
leased on bond soon after the in
dictments were returned last Fri
day. The two others charged have
not yet been taken into custody.
James S. Hastings, one of the
four arested earlier, was named in
four indictments and posted $2,000
bond. He is a coin machine dealer.
Frank and Lester Parsons,
partners in a music box business,
and J. Edward Waller, who has a
confectionery, face one charge
each and posted $500 bond.
Trial Due About May 22.
The cases are expected to come
to trial about May 22.
The jury was called ftito special
session last week by Judge Levin
Claude Bailey after the Times
charged that county authorities
had grown lax in the enforcement
of gambling laws.

story that gamblers had ap
proached Alexander T. Orier, Re
publican candidate in today’s
municipal elections, with a prom
ise to support him if he would
fire the chief of police, who has
been militant against bookmaking,
the numbers racket and slot ma
chines.
Both Oscar Morris, editor of the
Times, and Mr. Grier were called
before the grand jury. The jury
reported a conflict developed in
their testimony and there was no
basis for an indictment.

Martinsburg School T urning Out
Trained Aircraft Mechanics
»y a Staff Correspondent of The Star
MARTINSBURG, W. Va., May
2.—One of the few schools of its
kind in the east is busy turning
out trained mechanics and skilled
aircraft workers for the aircraft
industry.
Located in the outskirts of this
West Virginia city, the school,
operated by the Martinsburg Air
craft Service, Inc., has recently
observed its second anniversary.
At present there are nine in
structors teaching 27 different
phases of aircraft technology to
more than 200 students, most of
them veterans.
The school, approved by CAA,
is the only aircraft mechanical
school in the seven States under
the Huntington regional office of
the Veterans Administration.
In addition to its regular day
sessions, the school also holds
night classes for those students
who must hold down regular jobs
while learning to become aircraft
mechanics. When a student com
pletes the courses here, he is li
censed to become a mechanic or
aircraft worker either at some air
field or with an aircraft company.
Many of the graduates have been
employed at the Fairchild plant at
Hagerstown. Md„ a few miles
across the Potomac.
Charles H. Bolton, formerly of
Roanoke, Va., started giving in
structions to a few students at
the local airfield, where he was
employed as a mechanic. Soon de
mands for training outstripped
facilities at the field, and Mr.
Bolton moved to his present lo
cation. Here he has room and fa
cilities to train more than 400 stu
dents.
